Recipe Instructions

Shaving the zucchini and slicing the asparagus

Shave the fresh zucchini into long but thin strips using a sharp vegetable peeler. Put the shavings in a large serving bowl. Then, slice the asparagus diagonally. Slice as thinly as possible. Some prefer to blanch both the zucchini and asparagus first. You can do this as well but is not necessary. Combine the sliced asparagus and shaved zucchini in the bowl.

Preparing the dressing

Combine the extra-virgin olive oil and lemon juice extract in a small bowl. Season it with salt and pepper and stir. Then, pour this over the prepped vegetables. Toss. Make sure to thoroughly coat the vegetables with the dressing. Prior to serving, garnish the salad with the shaved pecorino. You may also use roasted pine nuts and avocado.
